Dear George,
ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO 80111
I met this past Friday with Meridith Reckert of the Wheat Ridge Planning Department concerning your
property at 42nd and Xenon. From what she indicated to me, you will have to go thru two processes -
the rezoning and the platting. You can do these separately or simultaneously. She said the rezoning wi!!
not necessarily be a "slam dunk" and you will need a variance on the piece which remains A-2 because it
now will be under the one acre minimum, so you would save money in only doing that if it were denied.
On the other hand, you would save time by doing both at once.
For the rezoning application, I enclose some information regarding requirements on this which you may
already have in your possession. TI1e primary item I see in all of that which you would need my ]yelp on is
the certified boundary and improvement survey and legal description of the property to be rezoned. Most
or all of everything else, you could do yourself with little or no help from me. Our fee for the required
survey and legal and a little meeting and consultation time wit11 you and Meridith would be $500.00.
If you choose to take a chance and also have the plat done now (or wait and have it done later), it would
be a minor subdivision -requiring no drainage study and no street improvement plans at this time (they
would be required later when the detailed Site Plan/ Development plan is submitted by the actual
developer of the property). Our fee for the Plat document and related meetings, printing charges, etc.
would be an additional $500.00
Please keep in mind that either you or the "developer" of the property you are going to heve rezotled will
be responsible for street improvements to both 42nd and Xenon, storm drainage improvements (which
probably will require detention ponding) and possibly other public improvements -along with the related
e:lgireeriag for thse improvements. i did not really get into that in detail with Meridith or the City at
this time, but it sounded like it could be fairly significant and fairly costly to whoever has to pay for tlresc
improvements.
Please let me know how you would like me to proceed., Also, please call either me or Meridith if you
have any questions or misunderstandings on my interpretation of the above procedure.
Sincerely,
(N LLER ENGINEERING & SURVEYING, INC.

Planning Commission Staff Report Page 2
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
I. REQUEST
This is a threefold request. The applicants request approval of a
rezoning from Agriculture-Two to Restricted-Commercial, approval of a
two-lot minor subdivision and a site plan for development within the
Fruitdale Valley Master Plan area. The purpose is for the sale of the
eastern half of the lot and for construction of an office building.
II. CRITERIA
1. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the
property into conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, Comprehensive
Land Use plan and other related policies or plans for the area.
The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Multiple Use and as general
commercial within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan on the edge of
moderate density residential to the east with low-density residential
further to the east. The applicants are proposing Restricted-
Commercial zone on the property which would allow office uses, service
establishments and limited neighborhood retail. See attached exhibit
fAr
One of the policy recommendations of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan
is to protect low intensity or residential uses through buffering
techniques; (i.e., low density residential can be next to moderate
density residential, can be next to office/neighborhood commercial.)
Staff concludes that this proposal meets this intent for transitional
zoning and land use.
2. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the
surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts
considering the benefits to be derived.
Zoning and land use surrounding the property include a dog kennel with
A-2 zoning to the north. Abutting the property to the east is A-1 and
A-2 zoned land with low density residential and a semi-public office
use. To the south is A-1 zoned land which has two single-family homes
with C-1 land with a lab on it farther to the west. Immediately to
the west is vacant, A-2 zoned property.
3. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or
economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone.
There could be economic benefits to the community if the proposal is
approved.
4. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to
serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the
applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or
are under capacity.
Planning Commission Staff Report Page 3
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
All outside agencies can serve with improvements provided by the
developer.
5. That the proposed rezoning will not adversely affect public
health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic
congestion, create drainage problems, or seriously reduce light
and air to adjacent properties.
The proposal will result in a small increase in traffic in the area,
however, the future construction of 42nd Avenue between Xenon and
Youngfield, should be able to handle the amount generated by this
site. Drainage on and off site will follow historic flows and
therefore should not negatively affect general drainage in the area.
A one-story office building will have no more affect on light and air
to the adjacent properties than a house of similar size.
6. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the
existing zoning conditions.
The property could be used in accordance with the A-2 regulations
which allows farming, fish hatcheries, public stables and veterinary
hospitals.
7. That the rezoning will not create an isolated or spot zone
district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas.
Spot zoning should not be an issue as there are other commercial zones
in the vicinity.
8. That there is a void in an area or community need that the
change of zone will fill by providing for necessary services,
products or facilities especially appropriate at the location,
considering available alternatives.
There is a void in the market for small, owner-occupied office space.
III. SUBDIVISION DESIGN
The owner and applicants are proposing a two-lot minor subdivision so
that the sale of the eastern half of the property can legally occur.
Proposed lot sizes are .71 acre and .67 acre for Lots Land 2,
respectively. The A-2 zone district requirements include a minimum
lot size of one acre where the R-C zone district has no minimum lot
size. Therefore, the rezoning to R-C must take place before the
subdivision approval. If the rezoning is not approved no action
should be taken on the request for subdivision.
The lots are similar in size except that an approximate 1900 square
foot tract on Lot 2 has been excepted for a metering device for the.
metro sewer district. The sale of this parcel has already occurred,
therefore it is not a part of the subdivision.
• •
Planning Commission Staff Report Page 4
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
Xenon Street and West 42nd Avenue both have 50 feet of right-of-way,
therefore no additional dedications are required except for a 15-foot
triangle at the intersection for a corner radius.
The cross-access easement between Lots 1 and 2 needs to be shown
graphically on the plat.
All other requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been met,
except a few minor legal description errors.
IV. SITE PLAN
A site plan for development has been submitted for Lot 1. The
applicant proposes a one-story 3200 square foot building with the
ability to expand up to 6400 square feet. At full build-out, building
coverage would be 25~, landscaped coverage would be roughly 30~ and
hard surface coverage would be at least 45$.
The applicant owns a business which does analysis of plant materials
from archeological sites. Her clientele is nationwide and there would
be no walk-in traffic. Shipping of the materials is done through the
mail or by UPS. There are currently six employees including the
owner. As such, the site plan proposes only ten parking spaces.
Typically, an office building 3200 square feet in size would be
required to have 14 parking spaces where the site plan shows only ten.
This would require a specific variance to the number of spaces
required. Since the case was not published as requiring a variance,
Planning Commission has no jurisdiction to hear this aspect of the
request. However, this could be heard as part o£ the City Council
public hearing. If the variance is approved, language needs to be
added to the site plan requiring additional parking if the property is
sold or if the building is leased by a different user.
A cross access easement has been provided on the site plan and plat
allowing circulation between Lots 1 and 2. No outside storage will be
allowed on thee property. Any outside mechanical equipment must be
screened from view.
All other requirements of the Restricted-Commercial zoning have been
met. Staff concludes that the site plan meets the intent of the goals
and objectives of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan for residential
scale and increased landscaping.
VI. AGENCY REFERRALS
All agencies can serve with certain improvements.
Valley Water District will require a line upgrade. from four inches to
eight inches and construction of a service line.
Planning Commission Staff Report
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
Page 5
Arvada Fire District will require the installation of at least one
hydrant.
Public Works will require a drainage plan and report and a street
right-of-way dedication for the corner radius. An escrow will be
required for the cost of half-width improvements to West 42nd Avenue
in front of both Lots 1 and 2, which the City will construct next
year. The developer will be responsible for the installation of curb,
gutter and sidewalk and patching of Xenon Street.
VII. NEIGHBORHOOD MEETING
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on February 1, 1994.
Those attending were:
Meredith Reckert, City Staff
George Johnston, owner/applicant
Linda & Cal Cummings, applicant
Evangeline & Ralph Mangone, 2781 Berry Lane
Homer Murphy, 12700 West 42nd Avenue
Kathryn Murphy, 12710 West 42nd Avenue
Concerns expressed by neighboring residents are that they don't want
commercial intrusion into this primarily residential area and that
they don't want to have to participate in the cost of paving West 42nd
Avenue. They are afraid that the paving of 42nd Avenue will encourage
speeding and cut-through traffic trying to avoid the 44th/YOUngfield
intersection. They indicated that there are no speed limit signs and
not enough enforcement of speeders in the area.
VIII. FTAFF CONCLUSIONS
Staff concludes that some of the land use in the area is already semi-
commercial in nature. Staff further concludes that the proposed
rezoning to R-C would be in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan
and that, in general, the criteria used to evaluate a rezoning support
this request.
Staff concludes that all requirements of the Subdivision Regulations,
have been met if the minor legal description problems are taken care
of and if the cross-access easement is shown graphically on the plat
if a 15-foot triangle is dedicated at the Xenon/West 42nd Avenue
corner.
In regard to the site plan, Staff concludes that the proposed
development on Lot 1 is residential in scale, has a larger amount of
landscaping than usually required and could provide a transition
between the neighborhood to the east/northeast and potential, more
intensive commercial use along Youngfield. However, if a parking
variance is approved, a provision needs to be added that if the land
Planning Commission Staff Report Page 6
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
is sold or the use converted, additional parking be provided. Prior
to any development on Lot 2, a site plan must be reviewed by Planning
Commission and City Council.
Based on the conclusions stated above, a recommendation of approval is
given for all aspects of this request with the following conditions:
1. Legal description problems be taken care of on the plat;
2. The cross access easement be shown graphically on the plat; and
3. A 15-foot triangle at the corner of Xenon and West 42nd Avenue be
dedicated as right-of-way.
4. If the parking variance is approved, a note be added to the site
plan requiring additional parking if the property is sold or the
use changes.
5. A site plan for development be reviewed by Planning Commission and
City Council before any building occurs on Lot 2.

Commissioner QUALTERI had questions about a possible ditch right-
of-way on the property mentioned on the warranty deed, faintly
visible on the quarter-section map. However, no ditch or
easement is shown on the site plan.
Ms. Reckert stated she thought the current owners could address
that best.
Commissioner CERVENY asked if additional landscaping is required,
where could it be located?
Ms. Reckert stated there was some additional space available on
the west side of the building. She pointed out where this could
happen. _...... .
Commissioner CERVENY asked what the property could be used for as
it is presently zoned?

e.,
Planning Commission Minutes Page 5
April 7, 1994
Mr. Gidley suggested that perhaps no formal easement existed.
Another possibility was that it was a terminal ditch and
terminated at this property. Mr. Gidley added that if the ditch
user ceases using ditch water for a certain number of years (he
thought seven years), the water rights are lost.
Mr. Johnston explained further that to his knowledge, the
property owner next to him does not use the ditch. He added that
he had owned the property eight years.
Chairperson RASPLICKA asked if the ditch question clouded the
issue? _
Mr. Gidley answered it was a private matter that the property
owner(s) would have to work out themselves. He added that it
does not affect this specific site; only the site to the west.
Linda Cumminas explained that the plan was for a one-story office
building.
Commissioner CERVENY asked the applicant if she had a problem
with the conditions suggested by staff.
Ms. Cumminas stated she was aware of the proposed conditions.

Ms. Reckert stated that additional parking could be added and
pointed out where this could be done on the site plan.
Kathryn Murphv, 12710 West 42nd Avenue was sworn in. Ms.. Murphy
stated she lives with her grandfather and is concerned about the
requested change of zoning, since she felt if it was approved,'
the neighborhood would change. She added that individuals are
often seen speeding ,through the neighborhood.
Mr. Gidley spoke about the development of the Fruitdale Valley
Master Plan and how that plan affects the area under
consideration.
Commissioner OWENS asked if the applicant was aware that the
current zoning allowed many similar uses?
Ms. Reckert explained further the uses allowed by Agricultural-_-
Two zoning. She noted that several semi-commercial uses were
allowed.
Mr. Gidley noted that no industrial uses would be allowed as they
are specifically excluded. _ ____

Commissioner CERVENY stated he thought that Restricted-Commercial
zoning would improve the quality of development, since it would
be less-intensive in nature. He elaborated.
Commissioner ECKHARDT asked Commissioner CERVENY to explain
"higher general use".
Commissioner CERVENY explained that the R-C zone would act as a
buffer between the residential. area and C-1 uses.

more intensive use" when he spoke of a "higher general use".
Commissioner CERVENY stated yes, that is what he meant.

Dear Adjacent Property Owner:
If you have received this notice, you reside or own property
adjacent to a property involved in a land use case being
processed by the City of Wheat Ridge.
This notice is intended to inform you of the process involved in
land use development applications.
Prior to application for rezoning or special use permit, the
developer is responsible for holding an informal neighborhood
meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to provide the
opportunity for citizens to become aware of a proposed
development in their neighborhood and to allow the developer to
respond to citizen concerns in the design of their project. All
residents within 600 feet are required to be notified of the
meeting.
A staff planner will attend the meeting to discuss City policy
and regulations and the process involved, however, the planner
will remain impartial regarding viability of the project.
Keep in mind that this is not a public hearing. Although a
synopsis of the meeting will be entered as testimony, it is the
public hearings in front of Planning Commission and City Council
where decisions are rendered. If you want input in the decision-
making process, it is imperative that you attend the public
hearings.
The public hearings you will be attending are quasi-judicial in
nature. Please do not contact your-Planning Commissioners or
Council people to discuss the merits of a case prior to the
public hearing. It could jeopardize your representatives'
ability to hear the case.
If you are an adjacent property, you may have the right to file a
"legal protest" against the application. The result of this
filing is that it requires a 3/4 majority of City Council to
approve a request.
If you have questions regarding any of the information given
above, do not hesitate to contact a planner at the City offices
by calling 235-2846. The Planning & Development Department is
open Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. through 5:00 p.m.

there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
City Council Staff Report Page 2
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
I. REQUEST
This is a threefold request:
1. Approval of a rezoning from A-2 to R-C with site plan approval;
2. Approval of a variance to lot size; and
3. Approval of a two-lot subdivision.
The applicant had originally applied for a rezoning from A-2 to R-C
for the entire 1.38 acres, approval of a site plan for development for
the eastern half of the property and approval of a two-lot subdivision
to allow the legal sale of the eastern half.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission public hearing, the applicant
opted to remove the western half of the property from the rezoning
request. The reason for this is that the applicant has a potential
buyer for the western half to install a landscape nursery which is a
use by right in the A-2 zone. However, the applicant would still like
to subdivide the property as shown on the enclosed subdivision plat,
which requires a variance to the minimum A-2 lot size of one acre.
A specific chain of events needs to occur in regard to the different
aspects of this case.
A variance needs to be granted to the one-acre minimum A-2 lot
standard. If this is approved then rezoning can occur only for the
east Half. Yf the variance is denied, then the entire property will
be rezoned. In either of the rezoning scenarios, the site plan for
the eastern side must be reviewed.
The subdivision plat as presented can be approved in either of two
ways. If the. variance is denied, the result is two R-C zoned
properties. If the variance is approved, .the result is one R-C zoned
lot-and one substandard A-2 zoned lot.
If the variance was denied-and the entire property rezoned to R-C, the
landscape nursery could be allowed later as a Special Use.
Finally, if only the east half is rezoned, a revised ordinance
consistent with Exhibit 'A' must be published.
II. VERIANCE
Variances. must be considered separately from the other cases and
requires a greater-than-majority vote based upon Wheat Ridge Code of
Laws Section 2-53(s). and Section 26-6(D)(2).
The owner is requesting a lot size variance to allow the creation of a
substandard sized A-2 lot (.67 acre where one acre is required). If
the variance is denied, the subdivision plat as proposed cannot be
approved unless both lots are rezoned to R-C.
City Council Staff Report Page 3
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
1. Can the property in question yield a reasonable return in
use, service or income if permitted to be used only under the
conditions allowed by regulation for the district in which it is
located?
If the variance is not granted, the property cannot be subdivided and
the sale of either lot cannot occur. Tho proposed common lot line
could be moved to the east 99 feet, allowing the one acre minimum to
be met. This would reduce Lot 1 down to 114 feet by 145 feet or
16,581 square feet. The proposed office building and associated
required parking could fit on a lot this size, however, the amount of
landscaping would be drastically reduced aad the full build-out
scenario (i.e., the ability to expand to 6400 square feet) could not
occur.
Another scenario would be to rezone both parcels to R-C where there is
no minimum lot size and pursue a Special Use Permit for the landscape
nursery. The Special Use Permit would be handled as a separate case.
2. Is the plight of the owner due to unique circumstances?
Circumstances are not unique.
3. If the variation was granted, would it alter the essential
character of the locality?
If the variance was granted, it would not affect the local character
as there are other substandard A-2 zoned lots in the area. Most o£
these lots, however, are used as private residences with some farming
operations rather than commercial business.
4. Would the particular physical surrounding, shape or
topographical condition of the specific property involved result
in a particular hardship (upon the owner) as distinguished from a
mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations were
carried out?
There is no hardship involved.
5. Would the conditions upon which the petition for a variation
is based be applicable, generally, to the other property within
the same zoning classification?
A precedent could be set.
6. Is the purpose of the variation based exclusively upon a
desire to make money out of the property?
This request is economically motivated.
7. Has the alleged difficulty or hardship been created by any
person presently having an interest in the property?
City Council Staff Report Page 4
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
The hardship has been self-imposed.
8. Would the granting of the variations be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other property or improvements in
the neighborhood in which the property is located?
The granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other properties or improvements in the
neighborhood.
9. Would the proposed variation impair the adequate supply of
light and air to adjacent property or substantially increase the
congestion in the public streets or increase the danger of fire or
endanger the public safety or substantially diminish or impair
property values within the neighborhood?
Granting of the variance would not impair the supply of light and air,
increase congestion in the streets, increase fire danger or endanger
public. safety.
Although there are no obvious detrimental affects to the public
health, safety and welfare, staff concludes that the criteria do not .
support approval of this request based on the fact that there is no
physical hardship and that circumstances are not unique.
III. CRITERIA FOR REZONING
Before a change of zone is approved, the applicant shall show, and the
planning commission and city council shall find:
1. That the change of zone is in conformance, or will bring the
property into conformance with the City of Wheat Ridge
Comprehensive Plan goals, objectives and policies, Comprehensive
Land Use plan and other related policies or plans for the area.
The Comprehensive Plan shows this area as Multiple Use and as general
commercial within the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan on the edge of
moderate density residential to the east with low-density residential
further to the east. The applicants are proposing Restricted-
Commercial zone on the property which would allow office uses, service
establishments and limited neighborhood retail. See attached Exhibit
'B'.
One of the policy recommendations of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan
is to protect low intensity or residential uses through buffering
techniques; (i.e., low density residential can be next to moderate
density residential, can be next to office/neighborhood commercial.)
Staff concludes that this proposal meets this intent for transitional
zoning and land use.
City Council Staff Report Page 5
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
2. That the proposed change of zone is compatible with the
surrounding area and there will be minimal adverse impacts
considering the benefits to be derived.
Zoning and land use surrounding the property include a dog kennel with
A-2 zoning to the north. Abutting the property to the east is A-1 and
A-2 zoned land with low density residential. and a semi-public office
use. To the south is A-1 zoned land which has two single-family homes
with C-1 land with a lab on it farther to the west. Immediately to
the west is vacant, A-2 zoned property. S~aff concludes that the
proposed use as planned and designed will achieve compatibility.
3. That there will be social, recreational, physical and/or
economic benefits to the community derived by the change of zone.
There could be economic benefits to the community if the proposal is
approved.
4. That adequate infrastructure/facilities are available to
serve the type of uses allowed by the change of zone, or that the
applicant will upgrade and provide such where they do not exist or
are under capacity.
All outside agencies can serve with improvements provided by the
developer.
5. That the proposed rezoning will not adversely affect public
health, safety or welfare by creating excessive traffic
congestion, create drainage problems, ar seriously reduce light
and air to adjacent properties.
The proposal will result in a small increase in traffic in the area,
however, the future construction of 42nd Avenue between Xenon and
Youngfield, should be able to handle the amount generated by this
site. Drainage on and off site will follow historic flows and
therefore should not negatively affect general drainage in the area.
A one-story office building will have no more affect on light and air
to the adjacent properties than a house of similar size.
6. That the property cannot reasonably be developed under the
existing zoning conditions.
The property could be used in accordance with the A-2 regulations
which allows farming, fish hatcheries, public stables and veterinary
hospitals.
7. That the rezoning will not create an isolated or spot zone
district unrelated to adjacent or nearby areas.
City Council Staff Report Page 6
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
Spot zoning should not be an issue as there are other commercial zones
in the vicinity.
8. That there is a void in an area or community need that the
change of zone will fill by providing for necessary services,
products or facilities especially appropriate at the location,
considering available alternatives.
There is a void in the market for small, owner-occupied office space.
IV. SITE PLAN FOR DEVELOPMENT
A site plan for development has been submitted for the eastern half of,
the property.
On the eastern lot, the applicant proposes a one-story 3200 square
foot building with the ability to expand up to 6400 square feet. At
full build-out, building coverage would be 25~, landscaped coverage
would be roughly 30~ and hard surface coverage would be at least 45$.
A 3200 square foot office building is required to have 14 spaces. If
the office ever expanded to 6400 square feet, this number would have
to be doubled.
The applicant owns a business which does analysis of plant materials
from archeological sites. Her clientele is nationwide and there would
be no walk-in traffic. Shipping of the materials is done through the
mail or by UPS.
A cross access easement has been provided on the site plan and plat
allowing circulation between Lots 1 and 2. No outside storage will_be
allowed on the property. Any outside mechanical equipment must be
screened £rom view.
All other requirements of the Restricted-Commercial zoning have been
met. Staff concludes that the site plan meets the intent of the goals
and objectives of the Fruitdale Valley Master Plan for residential
scale and increased landscaping.
V. SUBDIVISION DESIGN
Proposed lot sizes are .71 acre and .67 acre for Lots 1 and 2,
respectively. An approximate 1900 square £oot tract on Lot.2 has been
excepted for a metering device for the metro sewer district. The sale
of this parcel has already occurred, therefore it is not apart of the
subdivision.
Xenon Street and West 42nd Avenue both have 50 ,feet of right-of-way,
therefore, no additional dedications are required except for a 15-
foot triangle at the intersection for a corner radius.
A cross-access easement between Lots 1 and 2 has been provided in
accordance with Staff's recommendation.
~.
City Council Staf£ Report Page 7
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
All other requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been met,
except a few minor legal description errors.
VI. AGENCY REFERRALS
All agencies can serve with certain improvements.
Public Works will require a drainage plan and report and a street
right-of-way dedication for the corner radius. An escrow will be
required for the cost of half-width improvements to West 42nd Avenue
in front of both Lots 1 and 2, which the City will construct next
year. The developer will be responsible for the installation of curb,
gutter and sidewalk and patching of Xenon Street.
VII.
A meeting for neighborhood input was held on February 1, 1994.
Those attending were:
Meredith Reckert, City Staff
George Johnston, owner/applicant
Linda & Cal Cummings, applicant
Evangeline & Ralph Mangone, 2781 Berry Lane
Homer Murphy, 12700 West 42nd Avenue
Kathryn Murphy, 12710 West 42nd Avenue
Concerns expressed by neighboring residents are-that they don't. want
commercial intrusion into this primarily residential area and that
they don't want to have to participate in the cost of paving West 42nd
Avenue. They are afraid that the paving of 42nd Avenue will encourage
speeding and cut-through traffic trying to--avoid the 44th/YOUngfield
intersection. They. indicated that there-are no speed limit signs and
not enough enforcement of speeders. in the area.
VIII. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
Planning Commission reviewed these requests at a public hearing held
on April 7, 1994. A recommendation of Approval was made for-the
subdivision plat for the following reasons:
1. It would allow the sale of .the eastern portion of the
property.
2. All requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been
met.
With the following conditions:
1. Legal description problems be taken care of on the plat;
2. The cross-access easement be shown graphically on the plat;
and
City Council Staff Report Page 8
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
3. A 15-foot triangle at the corner of Xenon Street and West
42nd Avenue be dedicated as right-of-way.
4. Commission would instruct staff to work with police and public
works and take appropriate action once the street is paved to
address the neighborhood's concerns regarding the control of
traffic.
In regard to Case No. WZ-94-1, a recommendation of Approval was made
for the following reasons:
1. The property is located within the City of Wheat Ridge and
all notification and posting requirements have been met,
therefore, there is jurisdiction to hear this case.
2. Some of the land use in the area is semi-commercial in
nature, therefore, there is compatibility.
3: It is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan.
4. The evaluation criteria support approval.
5. Restricted-Commercial uses would be more compatible to the
present existing uses than allowed uses under Agricultural-Two
zoning.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission hearing the western parcel (Lot
2) was removed from the rezoning request.
If only the eastern half of the property is rezoned, Council Bill No.
will have to be amended in accordance with Exhibit 'A'.
IX. STAFF CONCLUSIONS
In regard to-the lot size variance, Staff concludes that the
evaluation criteria do not support approval of. this request. For this
reason, a recommendation of Denial is given for the A-2 lot size
variance.
Regarding the request to rezone, Staff concludes that some of the land
use in the area is already semi-commercial in nature. Staff further
concludes that the proposed rezoning to R-C. would be in-conformance
with the Comprehensive Plan and that, in general, the criteria used to
evaluate a rezoning support this request.
In regard to the site plan for Lot 1, Staff concludes that the
proposed development is residential in scale, has a larger amount of
landscaping than usually required and could provide a transition
between the neighborhood to the east/northeast and potential, more
intensive commercial use along Youngfield. If the building is ever
expanded to full build-out, additional parking will be required.
Based on the conclusions stated above, a recommendation of approval is
given for the rezoning of the entire parcel and the site plan for Lot
1 with the following conditions:
City Council Staff Report Page 9
Case No. WZ-94-1/MS-94-1
1. The entire property be rezoned and the applicant pursue a separate
Special Use Permit for the nursery; and
2. Additional parking be provided if full build-out on Lot 1 occurs.
In regard to the subdivision plat, Staff concludes that all
requirements of the Subdivision Regulations have been met with the
exception of some minor legal description problems. However, Sta££
already concluded that the lot size variance request is not supported
by the evaluation criteria. Therefore, recommendation of approval is
given with the condition that the subdivision plat be Approved only i£
the entire 1.382 acres is rezoned to Restricted-Commercial.

which allow a special use of land, an applicant must notify all

issues and desires.
A staff planner will attend the meeting to discuss City policy and
regulations and the process involved, however, the planner will remain
impartial regarding viability of the project.

imperative that you attend the public hearings.
The kinds of concerns residents normally have include the following:
* Is the proposal compatible with surrounding land uses and zoning?
* Are there adequate utilities and services in place or proposed to
serve the project?
* What is the impact on our streets?
* Where will the storm drainage go? "
* How will the project be designed to enhance rather than detract
from the neighborhood?
* What specific changes can be made in the proposal to make it more
acceptable to me?

following space and the back of this form to list any specific
concerns, issues or suggestions which you may have regarding this
proposal. Please sign it and give it to the applicant, as he is
required to provide these forms to the City along with his
